Why is modernisation essential?

From policy and claims systems to distribution and compliance: we help you modernise existing applications step by step. In a complex and highly regulated sector, you want to innovate without losing stability. We support insurers and wealth managers in gradually renewing their systems, with a strong focus on continuity, enhanced security, and scalability. This is how we make your digital landscape agile again, secure, and ready for the future.

Recognisable challenges?

Outdated technology

Outdated technology hinders smooth policy management, complicates compliance, and makes it difficult to keep pace with the market.

Legacy systems slow down innovation and increase technical debt.
They make it difficult to respond quickly to new regulations, product changes, or distribution models.

High maintenance costs

Legacy systems for, for example, premium calculation or reinsurance require more support, leading to rising costs and inefficient use of resources.

As technology ages, maintenance and support become increasingly expensive. More time is required to fix bugs or maintain compatibility, while expertise for older systems becomes scarcer. As a result, costs rise without the software actually improving. Investing in modern technology is often more efficient and cost-effective in the long run.

Reduced performance

Slow processes when accessing historical cases, processing claims, or preparing quotes lead to frustration and lost time.

When software is no longer updated, inefficiencies accumulate in the code. This results in longer load times, slower responses, and an overall decline in system performance. For employees and customers alike, this leads to frustration and lost time. Modern solutions ensure smooth, stable, and future-proof performance.

Security risks

Legacy systems often fail to meet modern standards such as DORA or GDPR. This increases the risk of data breaches, reputational damage, and issues during audits or incident reporting.

Security vulnerabilities in legacy systems are often no longer patched, making it easy for attackers to gain access to sensitive data. This not only creates operational risks but can also lead to reputational damage or legal consequences. Regular updates and modern technology are crucial to protecting your organisation against digital threats.

Scalability issues

Legacy systems struggle to scale: partner APIs, AI solutions for the insurance sector, etc. This slows down further digitalisation or expansion.

Many legacy systems are not designed to support new features or larger data volumes. This makes it difficult to scale quickly as your organisation grows or the market changes. Modern software solutions, on the other hand, provide the flexibility to expand easily and integrate new applications without compromising stability or performance.

Lack of integrations

Outdated software limits the ability to connect with modern APIs, AI solutions for the insurance sector, RAG systems, etc. This hinders further automation.

Companies that rely on outdated technology often face difficulties connecting their systems with modern applications or external partners. This disrupts data flows, makes processes inefficient, and prevents automation. By moving to technology with open APIs and modern integration capabilities, your organisation can operate more flexibly and efficiently.

Lack of flexibility

Rigid systems slow down adaptations to new policy products, revised underwriting criteria, or changing regulations such as MiFID or DORA.

Outdated software is often rigid and difficult to modify, meaning even small changes require significant time and money. This limits your ability to respond quickly to new business opportunities or changing regulations. Modern software provides the agility to continuously optimise and stay aligned with your business strategy.

Poor user experience

Outdated screens and cumbersome workflows slow down the work of case managers, brokers, and customer teams, leading to errors and frustration.

Outdated software is often cluttered, slow, and not aligned with modern expectations for usability. Users waste time on cumbersome tasks, reducing both satisfaction and efficiency. By investing in modern, user-friendly solutions, you not only increase productivity but also improve employee satisfaction and customer experience.

Ready to modernise your software?

Metanous is ready to guide you in modernising your software, regardless of project size. With our technical expertise, we ensure your software meets the latest industry standards and trends. Whether it's migrating to the cloud, implementing new technologies, a data migration project, or enhancing the user experience, we are here to support you.

Let’s work together!

How we work

1

Analysis of your landscape

We start with a technical and functional review of your existing systems — including the platforms used (e.g., AS/400, Progress, Oracle Forms), external integrations, and business-critical flows such as policy management, claims, or reinsurance.

2

Clear roadmap and governance model

Based on impact and risk, we define a phased roadmap. Each project is supported by a governance structure with clear roles, decision points, and priorities. Transparency and predictability are central.

3

Thoughtful data migration approach

We develop migration strategies that ensure performance, completeness, and data quality — including validation steps, audit trails, and fallback scenarios for production environments.

4

Legacy risk mitigation

We minimise risks through test automation, rollback plans, and phased deployment. New components can run in parallel if desired, allowing adjustments at any time without disrupting your operations.

5

Delivery and support without surprises

Every delivery is documented, tested, and embraced by your organisation. After go-live, we provide support, knowledge transfer, and the opportunity for iterative optimisation.

Example

Dynamo, digital transformation at Precura Insurance

For the insurance company Precura, we developed a future-ready platform that automates administration, reduces errors, and complies with GDPR and DORA standards. The new Dynamo platform centralises product definition, rate calculation, policy creation, and claims processing — with a user-friendly interface and built-in controls.
The result: faster processes, less manual work, and more room for customer focus.
